I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Paying expensive healthcare premiums but never using the insurance is a odd way to commit fraud.

Like fascist fighter FDR, who said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself", history will remember this REAL American patriot long after the GOP's felon in chief's carcass has decomposed under a golf course. "While fear may be contagious, courage is as well." --Jack Smith 🦅 🇺🇸

Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com · 20h
NEW: Republicans went ballistic when New Jersey admitted to an error that allowed fewer than 400 noncitizens to vote since 2023. But when 72,000 mail ballots were rejected across six states in the 2026 primaries over technical issues, the GOP remained silent. Democracy Docket breaks down the data👇
democracydocket.com
A few noncitizen votes are a scandal. But thousands of rejected ballots are business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

ICE hired 12,000 agents with $50,000 bonuses in months. A whistleblower warned of skipped vetting, then a recruit died and a Maine shooting followed.

I mean, these are the deep depths of the ocean. You never see numbers like these. An 86 point shift away from the president!"
